There's a practical benefit to this. If you have $EDITOR set in your
environment to something like "emacsclient --alternate-editor=emacs",
then it would be nice if you could say this:
$EDITOR --apply some-func arg1 arg2
and have it do the same thing whether or not there was already an Emacs
server running. The symmetry between the two commands (plus proper
argument forwarding) would make that work.
However, if people can't agree, then we could probably drop that part.
To me, it sounds like people *do* agree that this would be good to have
though.
